We have confirmation on the date CM Punk will return to AEW.
Since AEW All Out, CM Punk has been on hiatus from the company after the All Out Brawl that went down after the show went off the air. After a long stretch of no news about Punk’s return, lately we have learned a lot of new information, including an expected return day.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, CM Punk is scheduled for Saturday, June 17 at the United Center in his hometown of Chicago. This was first reported by Fightful Select recently.
As things stand right now, the return of C.M. Punk is scheduled for a 6/17 show at the United Center in Chicago, which being a Saturday night show, is likely the debut of the new weekly show.
The rumor of the new show name is AEW Collision, based on a trademark the company took out some time back, when the talks with WBD for the new Saturday show got serious.
The decision on Punk returning was made many weeks ago, although there was a snag two weeks back that has evidently been worked out.
Obviously being at the United Center, the show will be heavily promoted and have a theme name, which evidently has been decided upon.
WON
Of course, Punk’s return will not come witout controversy as there are still some within AEW who do not want to see him return to the company. However, with Punk being such a big draw, this can only seen as a win for Tony Khan. We will have to wait and see what Punk will say or do in his AEW return.
